NEGRO NEWS Donation By Rawls Help To Buckland Library Gates.—One of the dreams of Buckland High School began to come true last week when I. R. Barcliffe, principal, was notified by Superintendent W. C. Harrell that the school has received a check foe $2,033.07. The check coming from Walter C. Ra'wls of St. Louis, Mo., made it possible for Buckland to order a quantity of library books cost ing 1,500.00. Thus Buckland took its first big step in purchasing the required number of books in order that the elementary school rnav be accredited by the state department of instruction. Rawls’ check brought the total amount collected to $4,077.02. Buckland already had on hand $2,043.95 that was realized from donations made by parents and various other sources. Another quantity of library books costing $1,500.00 will be processed March 15, while the third $1,500.00 order will be made during the summer. Buckland’s principal stated that when the school received the other $1,000 - 00 promised by Rawls plus addi tional amounts raised by the school, the school should be able to order sufficient books to merit accreditation for the elementary school from the state department of instruction. The school hopes to have a state inspection for ac creditation during the spring of 1957. School personnel states that this dream of Buckland would not be visualized at this time were it not for the generous gift made by Rawls, and the splendid cooperation which was rendered by the parents, students and teachers of the school. "I cannot express in words our thanks to Mr. Rawls, and to the parents, teachers, and students for thei unselfish efforts and untiring cooperation in making- this worthy cause successful." said principal Barcliffe. The names of all parents who made contributions to the book fund will be pubh.-hed in the Index the second week of Febr uary. Parents who have not con tributed are reminded that con tributions to the fund will be ac cepted at any time. GAMES (Continued from Page 1) Monday.

BATTLE Joint Meetings Off To Good Start The Extension workers of Gates County have adopted the slogan, "Make 1956 Family Year.” If at tendance at the joint meetings held this month can be judged an indication of this being a family year. we are off to a good start.

Any other families who missed the meeting in their neighborhood or community will be welcome to attend the meeting on January 25. New Service For Homemakers Every homemaker is interested :n planning and serving nutritious and ecr omieal meals to the fam Much thought is put into meal •Manning to serve meals that are nut: then., as well as, attractive and economical. The Extension Service with specialists at State College ha'-e planned a • ew serv iee, "The Tarheel Food Shopper," w-h., will be of much benefit to 'he homemkaers of North Caro iinti in helping them to know how to plan good meals. The information w.lT include good food buys and suggestions*for using different foods in a variety of ways. Good food busy this week include meats: Most pork cuts are oiling at rock bottom prices. If vou have freezer storage space available, now is a good time to >urebate a whole loin. The loin can be used for chops, roast or spareribs. You may expect a gradual de crease in egg prices as the supply - tinues to increase on into the spring months.. Broilers and fry ers declines about 5 per cent in prices at the farm and wholesale level, this should be reflected at the retail level this week. Vegetables Vegetable supply and prices will show effects of the Florida freeze . for several days. Although some I areas escaped damage, harvest was I cut in other areas enough to af fect the supply. Both quality and 1 production may be lower for sev • eral weeks for tomatoes, cucum j bers, squash, corn, peppers, egg I plant and radishes. Beans were | hurt but 'should recover quickly. Cabbage and celery were hurt only slightly and continue to ap pear as good buys. Iceberg lettuce continued good. Potatoes, sweet potatoes and onions top the dry vegetable list.

Farm Leaders Hear Specialist A group of 51 Gates County farm men and women, represent ing all communities in Gates County, met at the Extension Building Thursday morning, Jan uary 19 and heard Extension Farm Management, Mr. Charles W. Williams, discuss the outlook for 1956, farm fiance, farmers Income Tax and Social Security. Mr. Williams very carefully out lined the farm situation and an swered a number of questions that farmers considered very- im portant. He stressed the need for each farm family to) practice economy and efficiency in the farm and home operation. The second part of the meeting, which was devoted to Income Tax and Social Security was largely a question and answer period. Many farm families have been wanting to get first hand informa tion and some actual examples so that they may pass information on to others. This was very help ful to the leaders present in this connection, as well as, for them personally. Mr. Williams stated that every family should get all the facts I regarding Social Security and | file their income Tax returns and j Social Security forms before j February 15. It is expected that . a large number of Gates County farmers will file their forms and many will be receiving Social Security checks in a short period of time. Remember To Take Soil Samples If you haven’t taken soil samples, you should do so im mediately in order to get rec ommendations for crops to be planted this spring. The Depart ment of Agriculture is giving farmers a wonderful service by testing the soil and making rec ommendations needed for the crops that you plan to grow. Soil sampling boxes and information sheets may be picked up at the Agricultural Buildings. The Agricultural workers will be glad to give assistance to those who do not understand all the details.

TELEVISION (Continued from Page 1) j has a leg on each corner and has j some spigots underneath that will: produce milk when properly mas- j saged. As a sort of afterthought,; the good Lord gave the cow a tail for a purpose. The Index occupies the position of the cow’s tail—it is last, though not least, and has a purpose. "Now the purpose of the cow’s i tail is not to do away with flies, j as it is commonly believed. AI cow’s tail is made to swipe you in the face at 6 o'clock in the morning, and properly saturated that thing can be a deadly weap on befpre breakfast and can | knock a man flat on his after- j thought. And the cow frequently j dips her tail in the milk pail. This ■ is said to purify the milk. "It is my intention to take the cow’s tail,'or in tnis case, the j Gates County Index, and saturate * it with so much readable content j and slap so many people in the j face or elsewhere before break- i fast, until they are purified with the milk of human kindness and maybe next year the judges for ! the North Carolina Press Asso- i ciation will move the' Index a notch higher up on the cow.” But alas! and alack! I nevei ;ot a chance to make my speech | I was usurped by His Excellency, j Governor Luther H. Hodges. He ; took up so much time with his | televised speech that I could only walk up on the stage grinning i ! like a cracked pumpkin and say i thanks" when the good Gover nor presented me with the award. None of my constituents thought enough of my 10 seconds in the spotlight to take the trouble to be present; thus I had no one to take my picture receiving the | award or even shaking hands i with the Governor. Chuck Hauser of the Chapel Hill paper felt real ! sorry for me. He and his manag ing editor, Joe Jones, held a hur ried consultation just before I was to receive the award, and he told me he would try to make a photo of the great moment, though I could tell that he hated to risk his camera. He shot pic tures of his award winners who were just ahead of me, and so 1 marched off the stage while window to the best of my ability and received the award, shook hands with the Governor and marched eoff the stage whil Chuck was trying to get his cam era ready. It happens to me every day. Of course, there are many other things that happened to me at the Mid-winter Press Institute in Chapel Hill last week. Like, for instance, John McSweeny of Cho wan College and I waited until the last moment to try to find a room. We wound up in a motel over near Durham, and John kept me awake with his snoring. And the next day I landed on a panel back at the University. Miss Ruth Peeling, who was the moderator, told me that I would only have to look wise and answer “yes” whenever she happened to call on me. Her first question was, “In yOur opinion, whfet steps should be taken to meet the rising cost of newspaper production?!’ She seemed astounded when I an swered simply, “Yes.” I was look ing as wise as I could under the circumstances. During the discussion, every one seemed much concerned about the shortage of newsprint. I told them that some of my sub scribers' had suggested that I use smaller rolls for the Index. Some, I told them, have even suggested that I buy my paper from the Scott paper company. The Index often winds up in the capacity usually associated with Mr. Scott’s product, so it may be a good sug gestion.

Arriving m my office just before 5 p m Friday. 1 wa- bub bling over with enthu uasm about my trip, for a couhtrj editor measures his living by those rare moments when he meets with those who share the joys and sorrows of producing a news paper. Looking like the cat that swal lowed the canary, I rushed into my office and waited for my office gal to ask about my trip. Maybe I didn't look too much like the cat after all, for I sud denly remembered that I had for- ! gotten to eat lunch. Anyway, 1 am still waiting for her to men tion the trip or the winning of the award. Suffering from a much deflated ego, I hurried on home to the bosom of my family. My two sons met me with the question, "What did you bring us?” The eldest didn’t like the trinket I brought him and so I gave him the dollar I had left over from my trip. The youngest didn’t even think to hug my n^ck, he was so excited about the 'toys I brought, while my Better Half was busily pre paring supper for three hungry men. All of which has caused me to reach the sage conclusion that a man is never as important to the geheral scheme of things as he would like to believe.
